Korean Scholars's Inkstone Box constructed entirely of paulownia wood, a very desirable wood for scholars and collectors because of its unique and beautiful grain and its natural bug repellent qualities. Its simple, quiet beauty was perfect for the scholar's Confucian aesthetic, and will look great with any kind of decor. 12.5 x 8 x 8 inches, 32 x 20 x 20 cm.
17 x 9 x 7 inches, 43 x 23 x 18 cm. Very Scarce Animal Hide Box from Korea's Early Joseon Dynasty, from a well-known private American collection of Korean art. All six of the boxes that we acquired from this collection are on this site. This is the first (and probably the last) time that we (or anyone) will have such very old Korean boxes for sale. The look of each box is incredible, and, I'm serious now, the smell is unbelievable. Open up the box and close your eyes, and you will be transported... Click for details

Size: 23 3/4" high x 22 1/2" wide x 14 1/2" deep.
This has to be the most special and unique chest that we have had. Chaekkori screens (painting of scholar's items) are very popular these days, especially since the Metropolitan Museum's exhibition on the subject a couple years ago. Just weeks ago, the Met purchased a 19th Century Chaekkori screen for half a million dollars. (I got to spend time with the screen before it went to the Met!). But this is the first time we have ever seen Chaekkori painted on a chest. Each door of this chest has a pa... Click for details
